Born in London, Amanda trained professionally as an actress at 'Studio 68' and is now a prominent Indie writer. Her first two books, the 'Mummy Misfit' diaries, were enthusiastically received as a humorously perceptive insight into the easily recognised, self-obsessed mums found at prep school gates the world over. Amanda moved on to romcom novels and has also released two Christmas novellas. She has a passion for crafts and entertaining and enjoys actively engaging with her readers by sharing news and discussions on her 'Diary of a Mummy Misfit' blog. You can join in by following her on Facebook 'Mummy Misfit - Amanda Egan' or on Twitter @Mummy_Misfit. Her latest release, 'Half as Good as You', is available now.
